Keep Our NHS Public

The NHS is in crisis, but migrants aren't to blame. They’re the backbone of our NHS, scapegoated for problems they didn’t cause, facing increased racism and risk of deportation. Underfunding and privatisation drives the crisis in public services: fund the NHS and stop migrant scapegoating Footage from our NHS in crisis: Migrants not to blame event with @unitetheunion @unisontheunion @ZackPolanski and @zarahsultana youtube.com/watch?v=cLvaoE…

Please sign and share this crucial petition. The decision to transfer NHS bank staff at the Royal United Hospital Bath, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, and Great Western Hospital to private company Pulse must be reviewed. Bank staff are essential. change.org/p/pause-the-ou…

Our Co-Chair @DrJohnPuntis told the BBC: "In a well-funded and properly resourced NHS, patients would not need to use private healthcare - effectively paying twice for an essential service that should already be provided". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It was great to take part at @unitetheunion rally today opposing NHS job cuts and redundancies. The NHS ALREADY has 100k+ vacancies, putting huge pressure on patients and workers. Cutting yet more staff is completely nonsensical - and will be highly damaging.

Our govt promising to end outsourcing 👇 1/3
